Quentin Dupieux (1974, France) is a filmmaker and musician. In his musical career he is known under the pseudonym Mr. Oizo. Although his filmmaking and musical career ran parallel, he first gained attention following the release of his track ‘Flat Beat’, which became a hit throughout Europe in 1999. Dupieux is considered a true auteur, being the writer, editor and director of photography for all his films. He even (co-)composed the music for half of his films. Many of them had their world premieres at major festivals like Cannes, Venice and Sundance. Dupieux’ films are often unique, skewing away from narrative conventions, with a great taste for the absurd and a dark sense of humour.
Florence wants to introduce David, the man she’s madly in love with, to her father Guillaume. But David isn’t attracted to Florence and wants to throw her into the arms of his friend Willy. The four of them meet in a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
